In the women's cricket gold-medal match at the Asian Games 2026, India won the toss and opted to bat first against Sri Lanka on Tuesday. The final will be played at the Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Japan, a venue familiar with both teams' strong performances in Asian Games tournaments. India, as the defending champions, will target to post a significant total after securing a 114-run victory over Bangladesh in the semifinals.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, defeated Pakistan by eight wickets to reach the title decider. India entered the final with impressive recent form, having defeated Sri Lanka in the Women's Asia Cup final earlier in the month to claim their eighth continental title. Shafali Verma played a key role in India's semifinal win, scoring an unbeaten 100 off just 49 deliveries.
Sri Lanka, led by experienced captain Chamari Athapaththu, will aim to counter the Indian challenge with a solid performance.
